Local Binding

The Telerik UI ListBox for ASP.NET MVC enables you to bind it to local data.

When you use complex data objects, use the DataTextField and DataValueField properties to notify the ListBox about your preferred binding behavior.

    @(Html.Kendo().ListBox()
        .Name("optional")
        .Toolbar(toolbar =>
        {
            toolbar.Position(ListBoxToolbarPosition.Right);
            toolbar.Tools(tools => tools
                .MoveUp()
                .MoveDown()
                .TransferTo()
                .TransferFrom()
                .TransferAllTo()
                .TransferAllFrom()
                .Remove()
            );
        })
        .ConnectWith("selected")
        .BindTo(ViewBag.Attendees) // Bind the ListBox to a collection
    )

    @(Html.Kendo().ListBox()
        .Name("selected")
        .BindTo(new List<SelectListItem>())
        .Selectable(ListBoxSelectable.Multiple)
    )
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models;
    using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;

    namespace Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Controllers
    {
        public partial class ListBoxController : BaseController
        {
            public IActionResult Index()
            {
                ViewBag.Attendees = new List<SelectListItem>
                {
                    new SelectListItem(){ Value = "1", Text = "Steven White" },
                    new SelectListItem(){ Value = "2", Text = "Nancy King" },
                    new SelectListItem(){ Value = "3", Text = "Nancy Davolio" },
                    new SelectListItem(){ Value = "4", Text = "Michael Leverling" },
                    new SelectListItem(){ Value = "5", Text = "Andrew Callahan" },
                    new SelectListItem(){ Value = "6", Text = "Michael Suyama" }
                };

                return View();
            }
        }
    }
